Worcester woman killed by car in Webster recalled as great kid’

Police are continuing their investigation into the death of a Worcester mother of three struck by a car while canvassing voters for the AFL-CIO Tuesday night.

Christine A. Zbikowski, 28, of 194 Dewey St., Apt. 3, Worcester, died at Harrington Hospital, where she was taken by Webster EMS after being struck while going door to door on Lake Park Way, according to police.

Ms. Zbikowski was doing voter education on behalf of the AFL-CIO. She was employed by Integral Resources, a Cambridge-based fundraiser that solicits money for nonpartisan and progressive causes.

Justin R. Borysenko of Integral Resources said Ms. Zbikowski worked for his organization, but was canvassing for someone else the day of the accident.

“What a fine young lady she was and we are all saddened by this tragedy,” said Mr. Borysenko. He said Ms. Zbikowski has worked for Integral since January.

“She was a great kid — this is really very tragic. She has three young children,” he added.

No one answered the door in Ms. Zbikowski’s building yesterday.

The Central Massachusetts Enforcement Council Accident Reconstruction Unit and the Worcester district attorney’s office are leading the investigation.

Police said they received a call at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday about a pedestrian being struck by a motor vehicle in the vicinity of 45 Lake Park Way. When officers arrived, they found Ms. Zbikowski had been struck by a car and was in very serious condition.

Officers administered first aid until Webster EMS arrived and took her to the hospital
